This paper quantifies the backward effect on the ocean currents caused by a tidal stream farm located in the open shallow sea. Recent studies in channels with 1-D models have indicated that the power potential is not given purely by the flux of kinetic energy, as has been commonly assumed. In this study, a 3-D ocean circulation model is used to estimate (i) practically extractable energy resour...

The polar-orbiting AVHRR and Aqua-MODIS infrared sensors provide frequent views of a wide range of physical processes occurring at the sea surface, including: fronts, mesoscale eddies, currents and upwelling. Remote sensing of the marine environment is an established field, exploiting satellite data to study the development and distribution of oceanic processes (e.g. Haynes et al., 1993; Peckin...

Abstract The deep-sea stratigraphic record is full of gaps. These hiatuses track changes in ocean circulation and chemistry, but determining their timing causes has been limited by sparse data incomplete knowledge gateway evolution earlier studies. We combine a significantly expanded, age-calibrated database with global tectonic paleo–water depth model to investigate the distribution >40...

Renewable energy installations and storage solutions require significant quantities of critical raw materials such as nickel, cobalt rare earth metals. The supply chains these face many difficulties, the continuous decrease mineral ore grades on land. In view complications, motivation to search for new resources has grown, with deep sea being seen a potential source minerals. Polymetallic nodul...

The mathematical models and numerical simulations reported here are motivated by satellite observations of horizontal gradients sea surface temperature salinity that closely coordinated with the slowly varying envelope rapidly oscillating waves. This coordination fluid material properties wave envelopes tends to occur when strong buoyancy present. nonlinear this movement presented may provide f...
